  I had not known that filming of the short German TV show Space Patrol started two months after the first rejected pilot episode for Star Trek in America, and both shows would air their first episodes in their respective countries within only a week of each other over a year later. Which makes it really weird how almost identical the concepts for both shows are. Space Patrol doesn't have the pretense of science exploration, but otherwise it's the same idea. #StarTrek #Raumpatrouille

  Any space nerds here know about a calculator to estimate the energy requirement for a suborbital flight to travel 10,000 km between two points on the surface of the Earth? #space #scifi #rockets

  Sci-fi pen and paper RPG people! What are your favorite systems for space combat? I'm particularly interested in anything that has more resemblance with cruiser battles than starfighter battles. #ttrpg

  @MMusselwhite@tech.lgbt I would say it looks a lot more like an Xbox controller.

  @kyonshi@dice.camp It's become pretty much an engineering joke about new forms of energy generation to say "Please, don't make it boil water again..."

  @kyonshi You don't have Kohlrouladen where you're from in Germany? It's one of the rare highlights here in Schleswig-Holstein and Hamburg.

  @kyonshi The only regional food that is any good is Italian. Maybe some Greek.

  Embrace hypocrisy. Install Blender 4.5.9. 🫤

  @juanfr So could well have influenced Metroid. Though there could have been even earlier cases of this map style.

  Do newer game consoles still have the motion controls of their predecessors from the 2000s. The ones that almost no game ever used, and when they used it it never really worked? Does motion control still exist outside of VR? #PS5 #videogames

  Back in the early #StarWars Expanded Universe, the fly boys from Rogue Squadron with their flashy X-Wings got a lot of page space (9 novels and 37 comics) and even their own games. I would love to see a series about a Y-Wing squadron, carrying the early Rebellion on their back before all the cool and shiny new hardware trickled in over the years. 😄 #StarWarsEU #RogueSquadron

  Pondering what actual new innovations in gameplay we have had in the last 15 years, the only thing that I can think of that's genuinely new is wacky climbing mechanics. 😆

  If you ever wondered why people reported Venus as a UFO, today is one of the days where you can see it. 🛸 Thing just looks unreal an hour after sunset. 🌟 #space #astronomy

  I really don't need it for my own game, but I do occasionally wonder what it would take to have game levels with non-unified directions of gravity? Inside a rotating space station would be the most obvious use case. But there's all kinds of weird gravity anomalies that could be done with it.

  @fabio Because of EU regulation, we don't live a hellhole country like the USA. If European capitalists were allowed to, they would exploit and abuse us the same way.

  #Blender noob question: Is it possible to change the default settings for a new texture? I am probably going to do a lot of textures that are almost all going to be 64x64 pixels and have texture interpolation: closest, and likely not going to make anything else (except sometimes 128x128 resolution). Can I tell Blender to always have a new texture set up like that by default? (And maybe a 1px Paint Pixel Art brush as default brush as well?) #b3d

  I'm not really a platformer player, but the Super Star Wars games on the SNES have an amazing art style. If I could translate those colors into Quake style 3D graphics, it would make the prettiest game I've ever seen.

  Why is Quake from GOG a 1.5 GB download? I don't think computers had hard drives that big in 1996. 😅

  Apparently, "If this game was made today" is a popular meme now. It's been a meme 15 years ago already. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1ZtBCpo0eU #VideoGames #retrogaming #retrogames #memes #video_game_memes
